Traders Point has taken amazing steps forward in the past year and we are still on the move! We want everyone to know what's new and coming down the pike. Each fall and spring we host a parent info night to answer your questions and fill you in on plans for next semester and beyond. Faculty from all grade levels and secondary content areas are here to talk with you about what your child can look forward to in 2015-2016. Hear the latest on academic and new facility plans from Head of School, Ron Evans. Attend info sessions about financial aid, athletics, guidance services and more.
Plan NOW to attend our K - 12 Parent Information Night this semester on Tuesday, October 28th at 6:30 pm. This is also a great time to bring your friends and neighbors with you. All those folks who asked you about TPCA and want to learn more. Remember...we offer a $300 referral fee for each K-12 student you refer who enrolls.
